expand_more You can use for
loops in Python when you want to perform the same action with every item in a list.
applebananapearorange
In the for loop, we retrieve an element from list fruits
and store it in the variable fruit
.
Then we print the element we just stored in the variable fruit
.
Finally we repeat the above for all the remaining elements in the list.
NOTE
In this case we used variable name fruit
, however, you can use any name that you want here (although it is better to use a meaningful name that logically represents a single item in the list).
Each indented line is treated as being part of the for loop and is executed once for each element in the list:
Do you like apples?Yes, I like apples.Do you like bananas?Yes, I like bananas.Do you like pears?Yes, I like pears.Do you like oranges?Yes, I like oranges.
